Not too sure yet?? Definitely not the towers, because of shared bathrooms. So, most likely the copse (although expensive) or university quays, i love that it's next to the river!

From what I saw Quays definitely seems real nice being by the river. It seems real good value for money as well.

I've firmly accepted an offer on the Computer Networks course. (Studied IT last year and studying Engineering this year)

I personally like all of them but I definitely don’t want an accommodation that is not en suite so that rules out quite a few of the options

I only got a chance to look at meadows, copse and quays but I'm still split between quays and copse. Guess it depends on how much student finance brings in.

I got an unconditional offer for MSc Business Analytics, but the course will be taught at the Southend Campus. Hence, I am not sure if the campus is good as I did not find any info on Google/You Tube

Nope. I'm an international student and I can't visit the university. So, I rely more on google/ youtube.

Ah yeah that makes a visit kinda difficult. There is some form of 360° views of areas of uni/accomodation on the website. I know it's not the same thing but it might give somewhat of a good idea about the place.

Did you get a chance to look at either of those accomodations in person? If so what are they like?
